The Met Office is leading a partnership that has won an EU funded contract to provide data and services aimed at protecting and saving lives at sea. ENVITIA is providing cloud-based, geospatial data dissemination services, including visualisation, download and monitoring services, to deliver open and free access to products based on the INSPIRE directive.

The new DataFlow service works in a similar way to an app store – simple solutions to common business problems are brought together in the form of ‘apps’, known as Workflows. These Workflows are available to browse, purchase and download through the DataFlow Store. Once downloaded, each of the Workflows can be launched in the DataFlow Player, enabling the user to begin processing their data in minutes.

To give everyone the full opportunity to take advantage of our early bird discount, this offer has been extended until Friday 9th October. Delegates receive a 12% saving when booking the full conference in 2015 compared to the same package in 2014. Should you need to be convinced to attend this year’s AGI GeoCom Annual Conference, then please read on.

We are delighted to announce that we will be launching AGI’s Foresight Report 2020 at the Welcome Dinner of GeoCom: Resilient Futures, our annual conference event, and would be delighted if you could attend.

The dinner will start at 6pm on Monday 23rd November, 2015, when we will provide our guests with the key insights in the Foresight Report 2020. Our aim is twofold: to entertain people over dinner, but also to open up discussion and debate about the way forward for the GI industry.
